Neighborhood Health is an innovative network of 12 community health centers in Nashville, Lebanon, and Gallatin, Tennessee. We provide comprehensive primary care, integrated behavioral health, and dental services to almost 30,000 patients. Our patients primarily include immigrants, residents of public housing, individuals experiencing homelessness, and persons living with addiction. As a federally qualified health center, we provide care without regard to health insurance or a patient’s ability to pay. We also strive to improve our Patient Centered Medical Home model to ensure all of our patients get the right high-quality care, at the right place, and at the right time. Neighborhood Health is currently seeking a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. Reporting to the Chief Clinical Officer, this individual will have primary responsibility for providing direct behavioral health care services as part of a progressive integrated clinical team. A full range of care is to be provided, including: assessment, diagnosis, plan of care and implementation of treatment. This position will be part of the Street Medicine team. Street Medicine includes health, behavioral health and social services developed specifically to address the unique needs and circumstances of the unsheltered homeless delivered directly to them in their own environment. The fundamental approach of Street Medicine is to engage people experiencing homelessness exactly where they are and on their own terms to maximally reduce or eliminate barriers to care access and follow-through. Visiting people where they live – in alleyways, under bridges, or within urban encampments – is a necessary strategy to facilitate trust building with this socially marginalized and highly vulnerable population. NATURE OF POSITION: The Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner is a member of an integrated health team which includes behavioral health staff. As a member of the team, he/she will work to address the comprehensive needs of the client as well as provide specialty services. QUALIFICATIONS: Education:
